Solid advice. One extra tip: set VOX sensitivity high and lower the screen brightness; low sensitivity can miss quiet fussing and a bright screen kills battery fast. If your router uses 2.4 GHz, move other devices to 5 GHz and set the 2.4 GHz channel to 1 or 11 to cut interference and dropouts. In your budget, the HelloBaby HB65/HB66 or similar VTech sets with an external antenna tend to hold up through one floor if you mount the camera a bit higher.

Pick a simple 6 to 7 inch e‑paper reader with warm front lighting that lets you push font size big and add bold, and use dark mode for gentler nights and glare free porch reading. If you can, try it in person to confirm it is e‑paper not a tablet and that the warmed, dimmed light feels comfortable while staying within budget.

I had the same thing after my drill sat a couple months and the charger just blinked; I cleaned the contacts, let the battery warm up indoors, then briefly woke it by touching it in parallel to a good pack for a few seconds and it took a normal charge again. If it still will not recover, switching to DCB102 dual charger fixed it for me because it recognized a low voltage pack and charges both 12V and 20V packs while handling two batteries at once, though it is a bit bulky.

Building on that, Totally agree with your explanation about ARC lip sync drift on consoles and the quick fixes you listed. That pick fits because it keeps processing lean, lets you shut off the extra effects, and gives you straightforward lip sync tweaks so the TV can pass audio without added delay. I ran into the same thing with my console and a simple, clean passthrough approach like this locked audio and video together.
